Scunthorpe United will go in search of their first victory on a Saturday since February when they take on Mansfield Town at the weekend.

The Iron got their first competitive win under Paul Hurst on Tuesday when they beat local rivals Grimsby Town 2-1 in the Leasing.com Trophy on Tuesday night.

They will hope to build on that result when they visit the One Call Stadium to take on the Stags.

Paul Hurst has a couple of selection issues to contend with ahead of the game and while there are three former Scunthorpe players in the Mansfield squad - Bobby Olejnik, Craig Davies and Neal Bishop - they could all miss out through injury.

The left back will be missing for a sustained period of time following a back problem.

Manager Paul Hurst said he did not quite have a fracture in his back but one would develop if he was not rested.

Therefore Ntlhe will have six weeks of rest before coming back.

Jordan Hallam

Hallam is expected to be out for a minimum of two months.

He has sustained ankle ligament damage, a very similar injury to Lee Novak.

Levi Sutton and Andy Dales

Sutton has not managed any minutes since sustaining a knee injury, while Dales has been out with a hamstring problem.

The duo have been outside and joining in parts of training such as non-contact passing drills.

It is hoped both can be integrated into full training next week as well as being included in under-23 games to build them back up to match fitness.
